Hundreds of paedophiles looking to prey on Australian children have been stopped at the border as authorities clamp down on sick sex tourists.

As well as child exploitation material being seized from 223 passengers at airports last year, there has been an explosion in the number of perverts using their home computers to join child sex rings.

Two teachers, aged 33 and 52, are among the men ­arrested in Sydney over the past year in joint operations between the Australian Federal Police and Australian Border Force, an investigation by The Daily Telegraph can reveal.

The men are allegedly among the 17,893 reports ­received by the AFP of Australian IP addresses used to access online child exploitation material last year, up from 9741 ­reports in 2017.

The names of convicted paedophiles listed on the Australian National Child Offenders Register are red-flagged at points of international departure across the country.

While border authorities cannot stop them travelling, unless they are subject to ­restrictions, as part of the clampdown they automatically alert their counterparts in known child sex destinations including Indonesia — and particularly Lombok, Thailand, Cambodia and the Philippines — so the Australian nationals can be denied entry.


AFP Manager Child Protection and Cyber Operations Commander David McLean said they tracked Australian Registered Child Sex Offenders abroad irrespective of whether they registered their departure from Australia.

He said the use of anonymising software such as Virtual Private Networks (VPN), P2P platforms and the dark web by offenders to hide or disguise their illegal activities had led to an increase in access to this kind of material.

Online sexual offences and child exploitation images are some of the fastest growing crimes worldwide, Acting ­Assistant Commissioner Claire Rees from ABF Port Operations Command, said.

“Child exploitation is a global issue and the ABF actively works with our law enforcement partners investigating these matters domestically and internationally and to prevent any harm to children here or overseas,” she said.

“The ABF has a zero tolerance approach to child exploitation and our officers are alert to the threat of travellers of concern and persons who may be seeking to travel with, or send abhorrent material both in and out of Australia.”

Once it was 'Schoolies Week' along the Gold Coast had its first year, it was a smorgasboard from then on. First the 'Toolies' turned up in their many. Then the Sex Ships from the Party Porn industries turned up off shore to 'entice' Schoolies onboard.
It has gone on from there.

It will never go away - they are circling in their many different guises and excuses. They are after the new (freshest) meat on the Market - Australian.

Once that Union Jack goes from the Australian Flag. It will mean that Australia is 'open for business' and they will flood in for the freshest of the fresh.

the article doesnt state a target group or demogaphic- so Im wondering if schoolies age kids are the ones they a concerned about- as they most of them are of age by the time they leave school- not that the stuff that happens at schoolies week is in any way ok or acceptable-

Once Labor have been elected,, the sex trade may be our only income

Schoolies are still... 'kids'.
Wether a Paedo starts with a 18 year old teenager to end with a 6 year old girl... or boy.

Simples - you on register - no passport....

Time to get tough with all the filth that exploit our relatively open and easy-going society.
